JT flying an Apache???

I can just picture him with his new sunglasses (oh wait…he didn’t have any money left after his visit to Tiffany’s) …screaming like a madman….firing finger lickin’ good chicken from a Apache…
State Dept. planning to field a small army in Iraq
By Warren P. Strobel | McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON — Can diplomats field their own army? The State Department is laying plans to do precisely that in Iraq, in an unprecedented experiment that U.S. officials and some nervous lawmakers say could be risky.
In little more than a year, State Department contractors in Iraq could be driving armored vehicles, flying aircraft, operating surveillance systems, even retrieving casualties if there are violent incidents and disposing of unexploded ordnance.
Under the terms of a 2008 status of forces agreement, all U.S. troops must be out of Iraq by the end of 2011, but they'll leave behind a sizable American civilian presence, including the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, the largest in the world, and five consulate-like "Enduring Presence Posts" in the Iraqi hinterlands.
…. Already, however, the State Department's requests to the Pentagon for Black Hawk helicopters; 50 mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles; fuel trucks; high-tech surveillance systems; and other military gear has encountered flak on Capitol Hill

This should cause a bit of a ruckus...

From CNS News:

(CNSNews.com) - If you want proof that President Obama's Executive Order on taxpayer-funded abortion was a sham, look no further than Pennsylvania, says House Republican Leader John Boehner (Ohio).
 
Boehner and other Republicans point to reports that the Health and Human Services Department is giving Pennsylvania $160 million to set up a new high-risk insurance pool that will cover any abortion that is legal in the state.
President Obama pledged that under his health care plan “no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.” 
The conservative Family Research Council says the $160 million in taxpayer funds for Pennsylvania is the first known instance of direct federal funding of abortions through the new high-risk insurance pools.

We shall see how this one plays out over the next few weeks as more in the MSM pick up on it…

I love this for what it is....

Good old fashioned scientific research…demonstrating its ability to transcend the horrific race baiting that continues to plague our society.
 
       
The biggest irony…now we get to watch everyone avoid reporting this news due to fear of being labeled a racist…
